Restaurant Billing Software With a Day-Close That Actually Ties Out
Billing is where money either gets recorded or quietly disappears. OutletPilot's billing module covers the whole path — order to KOT to invoice to settlement to day-close — and makes the gaps visible instead of leaving them for you to find at month end.
From order to invoice without re-keying anything
A bill in OutletPilot is generated from the order record itself. The cashier does not retype items, the kitchen ticket and the invoice cannot disagree, and a modified order updates both sides at once.
- Split a bill by guest, by item or by amount, and merge tables that joined mid-meal.
- Apply discounts, comps and staff meals with a reason code, so they show up as a line in the report rather than vanishing.
- Reprint or void with an audit trail that records who did it and when.
- Charge partly by cash and partly by UPI on the same invoice.
GST invoicing done once, correctly
Tax configuration lives at the company level and flows down to every outlet, so a rate change is a single edit rather than an outlet-by-outlet scramble. Bills print the CGST and SGST split, item-level HSN codes, and your GSTIN and legal entity details.
At month end the GST summary and the sales register export together, reconciled against the same order records the cashier created. If a number looks wrong, you can click through from the summary to the individual bill that produced it.
Cash management and the day-close
Most cash leakage is not theft, it is an unclosed loop. OutletPilot closes it by asking for a counted cash figure at the end of every shift and comparing it against what the system expected.
- Opening float, cash sales, cash-outs and expected drawer balance tracked per shift.
- Counted-versus-expected variance shown on screen before the shift is closed, not discovered next week.
- Cash collection handoffs recorded, so money in transit between outlet and office is never unaccounted for.
- Every day-close is stored, so an owner can look back at any historical shift.
Payments that settle where you can see them
UPI, cards, wallets and online prepaid orders settle through configured gateways, and each settlement is attached to the invoice it paid. That means the question that usually takes an afternoon — which bank credit corresponds to which day's sales — is answered in the report itself.
Frequently asked questions
Can I raise GST-compliant invoices for restaurant sales?
Yes. Bills carry your GSTIN, legal entity details, item-level HSN codes and the CGST/SGST split, and the monthly GST summary exports for filing.
Does the billing software handle split and merged bills?
Yes. Bills split by guest, item or amount, and tables that join mid-meal can be merged into a single invoice without re-entering the order.
How do I know if cash is short at the end of a shift?
The day-close asks the cashier for a counted cash figure and compares it with the expected drawer balance. Any variance is shown immediately and stored against that shift.
Can I bill without internet and sync later?
Yes. Invoices generate and print offline, and sync to the cloud automatically once the connection is back.
